I met you down in California
I didn't know that I was looking for you
Sure did, the moment that I saw you
Knew you were gonna break my heart

You said that you'd be gone tomorrow
So many other paths to follow
Sorry babe, no time to borrow
Guess I'll see you in the by and by

Gone baby now but why the hurry
Let me take you're blues away
Letting go, is that the worry?
Good things come to those who wait

Come with me back to California
I'll take you home
I'll take you home

Gone baby now but why the hurry
Let me take you're blues away
Letting go, is that the worry?
Good things come to those who wait

Ain't too late, to think it over
Why did you want run away?
Sorry but I can't forget you
Wishing you would would be mine someday

Come with me back to California
I'll take you home
I'll take you home

Looked everywhere, tried to find ya
Called your mama down in Carolina
New York City, Oklahoma
Loving you shouldn't be so hard

Packed up and moved to Minnesota
Selling cigarettes and whiskey soda
There you were, standing on the corner
Thinking now we're gonna be alright

Gone baby now but why the hurry
Let me take you're blues away
Letting go, is that the worry?
Good things come to those who wait

Ain't too late, to think it over
Why did you want run away?
Sorry but I can't forget you
Wishing you would would be mine someday

Come with me back to California - I'll take you
Come with me back to California - I'll take you
Come with me back to California - I'll take you home
